  • The Greater Waco YMCA partners with La Vega ISD to offer free drowning prevention lessons to elementary students, teaching critical water safety skills.

  • I spent over 30 years in the water refining what actually works, and in this video I break it all down into a focused system you can apply immediately. Whether you’re into Competitive swimming or just starting with beginner swimming, I walk through the exact swimming training programming and mindset shifts that helped me improve faster and avoid common plateaus.

    I cover the concept of Swimming Rehearsal and how I use it to sharpen freestyle swimming technique, eliminate swimming mistakes, and build consistency in every session. If you’re serious about improving your swimming technique and want real, actionable swimming advice, this will change how you approach the water.

    I also dive into strength training for swimmers, how it connects to better performance, and how to structure a smart swimming training plan that supports long-term progress. Whether you’re following swim coaching or training solo, these principles apply across all levels, including Fitness swimming and Swim training for triathletes.

    You’ll learn key Advanced swim techniques, practical drills from my years of swimming lessons, and how to recover properly using proven swimming recovery methods. I also touch on gear insights from my experience with Swim gear reviews, so you can make better decisions outside the pool too.

    This is the exact approach I wish I had earlier in my journey toward olympic swimming, guided by lessons from working with an olympic swimming coach and years of trial and error. If your goal is learning how to swim faster, refining your swimming tutorial approach, and training smarter with guidance from Eetu Karvonen, you’re in the right place.

  • Glenn and Wayne discussed a recent swimming world record performance by Cam McAvoy, noting the impressive velocity maintenance and positive feedback about McAvoy’s character. Wayne raised concerns about potential misinformation regarding McAvoy’s training methods spreading online, which could present challenges for coaches. The discussion then transitioned to technical endurance, with Glenn introducing the concept and noting that Doug had suggested it for discussion. The meeting began with Glenn expressing concern for friends affected by recent global events, including those in Iran and elsewhere.

  • Learning to swim as an adult isn’t just about technique. It’s about learning to trust the water, relax, and breathe correctly. In this video, I break down the biggest challenges adult swimmers face and show you simple drills to help you feel more comfortable, balanced, and confident in the water.

    If you’ve ever felt like you’re fighting the water or getting exhausted too quickly, this will help you fix it.

  • A swimmer told me he couldn’t lock in at practice and apologized for admitting it.

    That honesty was the most important thing he could have said.

    Because locked in doesn’t mean your mind goes perfectly quiet. It doesn’t mean the noise disappears. For swimmers whose brains work differently — including swimmers with ADHD — locked in just means having one thing to hold onto. One cue. One physical anchor your brain can return to when everything else pulls it away.

    Michael Phelps has ADHD. His coach Bob Bowman didn’t try to change how his brain worked. He built a system around it. That system produced 23 Olympic gold medals and the greatest swimming career in history.

    If your swimmer struggles to focus, this isn’t a character flaw. It isn’t a limitation. It’s a brain that needs the right framework — not more pressure.
    This is exactly what we work on inside Swim Accelerator. Building the individual anchor, the pre-race routine, the one cue that makes focus achievable for every kind of swimmer.
